The Certified Function Point Specialist (CFPS) designation has been the standard of recognition in the metrics community since 1993. It is available to those striving to apply objectivity to software development efforts in the sizing of requirements, the identification of changes to requirements, the estimation of project duration and work effort based on requirements, and the measurement and improvement of productivity and quality. It is a valuable, respected worldwide mark of a professional's commitment to personal and professional metrics development.
At this time, industry recognition of the quality and integrity of the CFPS Certification Exam process and the value of the CFPS designation is widespread enough that companies around the world now commonly include FPA and CFPS requirements in contracts.
The CFPS designation indicates that the accredited individual, by passing a rigorous exam and achieving a score of 90% or better, has mastered the fundamentals of Function Point Analysis at a significant depth and breadth in applying the Function Point Analysis rules.
